In this session, we will: ✅ Examine the concept of a 'just transition' and what it means for health systems strengthening in the context of climate change to advance gender equality. ✅ Explore how health systems in Africa can integrate gender-just principles amid the climate crisis. ✅ Identify ways to balance immediate crisis recovery with long-term investments in gender-just transitions within health systems in Africa. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about how a gender-just transition can transform health systems resilience in the face of climate change. 👉Register now: go.unu.edu/ZWnFr #UNU #GlobalHealth #GenderEquality #GenderJustTransition #ClimateCrisis #HealthSystems #Africa
